How many of you are in open relationships?

Never would do it

We are in a monagamous relationship. To us, monogamy means MONOGAMY! We are in a relationship with ONLY each other in every single way possible. We don't lust after others and we don't go after others.

My husband and I aren't wired that way anyhow, but our biggest issue would be the fact that neither of us has had sex with anyone else (that's what happens when you get together at 15 and 18, respectively I suppose. Yeah, what a sap, he waited for me to come along and tear his pants off, he's a good man). I could all too easily see it becoming a game of "Well you're on number blank so I have to keep up". Probably not the most mature response, but honest.

married and open, we talked about it early in our marriage and it just grew on us.

I am open to the idea, but I doubt I'll be pursuing it anytime soon. If my partner raised the idea, I wouldn't instantly shut it down--but it wouldn't come to fruition until it had be stringently discussed.

No. I don't want to ever to be in one. I want to be the only woman who makes love to my husband/partner

I am in a very happy relationship and we are about to try polyamory Wish us luck, I've never done it before...heh.

love the wife

My partner and I have discussed an open relationship and, in theory, opened things up, but neither of us has acted on it yet. I think the way it stands at the moment, since we're in a distance relationship most of the time, is "do what you need to do to keep yourself sane, have some fun if the opportunity comes along, but be safe, don't lie to me about it, and don't add unnecessary drama to our lives." We have been together for so long and are so perfect together that we can't see ourselves trying to "upgrade" and find a better long-term partner, but we are totally up for sexy adventures outside the relationship. I'm a little worried about how he will react once I make out with someone else and tell him about it, but hopefully he will get over it and we can have some sexy adventures together when he's back in the country.

I have neither the time management skills nor the tolerance for condoms.

the wife and I have been talking about adding some spice to our marrige and talking over the idea of adding another partner or couple. We have been playing on line a litte, but we wonder how most couples got started with this lifestyle and at what point in their relationship where they when they started

Well I am single man, and if I had a boyfriend I would not want it to be open because I would probably get jealous... but if I felt we could both be happy and not jealous I would give it a try...

I'm open to the idea, but it would take a lot of talking and convincing, I think. >//>

I could not play nice in the sandbox, what is mine is mine. what is not nailed down is mine. anything i can pry up is not nailed down.

I love being in an open relationship with 2 people. Working very well.

i love my bf too much to share him

Yet another way of avoiding commitment. Either be in a relationship or not. Stop pretending.

I love the idea of an open relationship. I think it makes the most sense in that it can satisfy a person in more ways than one person ever could. However, the communication piece is very difficult for me and thus I usually choose to stay monogamous for that reason. The few times I have been in a poly situation were great for a while, but eventually it all got to be too much for me.

I want a harem of girls that arnt allowed to sleep with anyone else besides eachother, I will accomplish this with my huge muscles.

open relationships FTW

I'm in a monogamous relationship. I do not like to share.

I am

The closest we'll come is bringing another girl home for 3-way fun...she'd be for fun only, not girlfriend or any kind of emotional involvement for either of us.
